I can't really recommend it since I just now installed it to test but: http://www.tucows.com/preview/853721/EML-Viewer may do what you want. I downloaded one of those tutorials(it had an "eml" extension) and opened it with EML-Viewer, giving me this: Edit: By the way, tucows did try to slip an AVG toolbar/homepage etc. into the installer so maybe it would be better to get it directly from the vendor? http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/eml-viewer.html The only reason I did not was because I couldn't find the magic word "freeware" on the vendor site, on tucows I did. :) This post was edited by chuggerguy on Wed, Jan 16, 13 at 19:54

Turbo tax gives you the option of saving your final tax forms (everything used to file, including all the schedules) as a PDF. It also saves the information in a proprietary file format, with a .tax extension. Which of these are you trying to open? The .tax file requires Turbo tax to open and the .pdf requires a program that can open pdf files.

You think Adobe Reader is bloated or a resource hog? On my PC, currently active Chrome and Firefox instances each require over 200 megs of memory. No problem, well within the capability of any machine. Opening a large-ish PDF document in Adobe Reader required 20 megs. That's a trivial amount in my book I happily use Adobe Reader and have had no problems. There are times that I wish to perform certain steps (editing, form completion, etc) on PDF docs, I see no reason to risk having an issue by using a Brand X substitute. To each his own, most roads lead to Rome.

Make life easier?? - forget it! As far as the new Word, I hate it. I've used Word for years and the new format takes me forever to remember where the common tools are. My office computer has Word 03 which I have no problem with. My home machine is 07 and I get so upset each time I have to use it. I still haven't found 'insert'. Nothing is where it was. What is annoying is trying to type up a letter quickly on 07, and spending more time trying to find the tools than it took to type the letter. Working with both versions each day drives me crazy. I use Notepad and when I go to save, it always saves as a txt. I do as Minnie and paste it to a Word document if I need to send it. I rarely do. I just use Notepad for a quick paste of something from the internet like a recipe. Jane
